1. **State the problem:** We need to find the average speed of the train over the entire journey from Manchester to Bournemouth, passing through London.
2. **Recall the formula for average speed:**
$$\text{Average speed} = \frac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{Total time}}$$
3. **Calculate total distance:**
The train travels 210 miles from Manchester to London and 120 miles from London to Bournemouth.
$$\text{Total distance} = 210 + 120 = 330 \text{ miles}$$
4. **Calculate total time:**
The train takes 3 hours for the first part and 2 hours for the second part.
$$\text{Total time} = 3 + 2 = 5 \text{ hours}$$
5. **Calculate average speed:**
$$\text{Average speed} = \frac{330}{5} = 66 \text{ miles per hour}$$
6. **Interpretation:**
The train's average speed over the whole journey is 66 miles per hour.
